KARACHI, Oct 23: Many parts of the city experienced power outages for the second day running on Tuesday as one of the units of the Bin Qasim Power Plant remained out of order.

Unit number four of the plant has been out of commission since Monday but the KESC spokesman refused to comment on its breakdown. Power consumers from across the city complained of prolonged outages and the indifferent attitude of the KESC staff.

Dr Ainuddin from Ahsanabad near Gulshan-i-Maymar complained that there was no electricity for more than eight hours in his locality. He claimed that no one was attending to the complaints of the consumers.

Similar complaints were also received from Federal B. Area, North Karachi, parts of Gulshan-i-Iqbal and Gulistan-i-Jauhar.
